So an advert by the above company claim that 93% of burglars avoid properties with act alarms.

Strikes me that's a very bold statement to make!

I would be more alarmed at the 7% who weren't...

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

I wonder how they got that statistic? I wonder what is the percentage of homes burgled, with and without alarms?

I'd like to know how they managed to survey burglers and their preferences

Somewhere in North Norfolk

I'd ask the ones locked up for burglary.

Some stats bought from insurance companies I would guess.

I just felt when came to something like this it's very bold to throw the stat around.

I assume that they're visible from outside of the house/building, in which case, just fix a fake alarm casing to the wall, then 93% of burglars will leave you alone. Simples!!

Mind baffling stats. I cannot get my head around it.

NB: 57% of burglars will not respond to this.

Central

Certainly would not attract me to buy their kit or service. Weird.

So in a country with 10,000 burglars IF you have an Adt alarm you will be burgled 700 times? Doesn't seem like a good plan really....

I know, get a ladder one night & steel the external casing of the alarm or just have a visible bullshit sign advertising that you have an alarm system, when you don't; surely this would work just as well?

ADT's are good. But they're so annoying. Sometimes in the middle of the night they just go off and i have to go all the way to the business and turn the fucker off!

..you get a copper calling your house too to wake you up about it!

That wanker!

oh, erm. What was the question?

This is strange as out of all the alarms I have to deal with the majority are adt. Maybe they are the least burgled due to somebody always being on site fixing them! Oh and their automated service is bloody terrible id prefer to listen to somebody with a strong accent from the middle east than listen to their messages again

I work in the industry and take over a lot of customers who are pissed off with adt's service. I must say if I was a burglar I'd target their alarms as there installations are piss poor and majority of their bell boxes don't work.
